Opening Doors was a party, a party in which we invited the whole world to see what we do at the Holden: we nurture talents.

120 talents, to be precise. 120 Pitchers in the Rye (that’s how Luca Sofri called them here), boys and girls who had five minutest to pitch their projects to 150 professionals of storytelling: a novel, a tv series, a movie, but also a boardgame, a monologue on stage, an app, a webstie, a radio drama.

Each day was enriched by the keynote speeches of four great men: Andrea Guerra, Carlo Feltrinelli, Alessandro Baricco and Oscar Farinetti, who told the story of their first job.
